December 9, 2023 at 7:23 pm #168887Two pets?!?!? What kinds? Are they new or did you just drop your pets off somewhere for the trip? (I’m assuming it’s the former but you never know lol!)
It’s just our rabbit and bird. They were each staying at a different aunt and uncle’s houses’, one in Kenosha (southeast of our home) and one in Milwaukee (northeast of our home.) The butter luckily was nearby the house Piper was staying at, so that didn’t add much time. We’re now back at home. Finally.
And picking up butter? lol! At least you guys’ll have a snack for the road. Mmm. Plain butter. How exciting!!! (totally kidding, btw.)
Well, salted butter, not plain. Also, gross!
Sorry I just disappeared for the weekend!! I just got back from Bismarck, where we went to my little sister’s gymnastics competition (she did amazing by the way <3). We almost got stranded because it was a blizzard and a total wipeout and we passed like six different cars and semi trucks in the ditch, down hills, and with police officers everywhere. So yeah. That was fun. (actually it was terrifying and I kinda freaked out XD but we survived!!!!) It was no travel advised the whole way and the roads were icy and they were gonna close the interstate but we made it to Bismarck in one piece! (and yet there were still people going 70 on the ice. We passed them in the ditch 10 miles later.)
Woah. That sounds intense!

December 9, 2023 at 7:29 pm #168891Do you happen to take astragulus every once in a while to boost the immune system?
I don’t even know what that is XD
Oh! And on horse news, I potentially could have died in a stall on Monday.
Fun times! lol I have also almost died too in horse related incidents…so yeah…
Oh ok. That makes sense.
We’re now back at home. Finally.
Nice! It’s so nice to be home after a vacation XD
Well, salted butter, not plain. Also, gross!
IT WAS A JOKE, OKAY! hahaha lol!! (that would be gross though….)
Woah. That sounds intense!
It was…that’s the worst I’ve ever seen roads…and I live in Montana!!

LEFSE FOREVER!!!!!! <333December 9, 2023 at 7:31 pm #168894Not a scratch. We have a horse named Shazam who spooks easily (literally afraid of his shadow and imaginary movements, and stationary objects!) And I was doing his hay. Snoopy, an unhappy gelding cuz he was kept inside all day Sunday, burst out of the stall a coworker was in, and galloped outside. Shazam spooked, and started kicking and moving around in his stall. I made it out fine, though, but I almost got seriously hurt. It potentially was life threatening. Funny thing, the entire time I was thinking, If I get hurt, Dad won’t allow me at the barn again.

Don’t worry about it…my Grandma was an herbalist and a nurse so I’ve kinda got some random herb knowledge (not much though.)
Fun times! lol I have also almost died too in horse related incidents…so yeah…
Horse girl life! It’s thrilling! Stepped on, kicked, bitten, bucked off, et cetera et cetera. And yet…somehow those faces only get more cute!

December 9, 2023 at 7:58 pm #168904@savannah_grace2009 @rae @highscribeoaetherium @keilah-h @beth-torres @acancello @trailblazer @calyhuge (I think that’s everyone still in this RP. Sorry if I missed someone.)
I want to preface this by saying that this is just an idea. If anyone does not like it, speak up, but I thought it was worth throwing out there. If people are happy with the way things are going in this RP, then we don’t need to do this, but it seems to me that things are kind of in a slump, and maybe people aren’t having much fun, and we should do something about it. So again, if you don’t like this idea, say so–I don’t want to spoil things for anyone.
A lot of people have been saying that it feels like this RP is dying and I kind of agree. I definitely don’t want this RP to die–some of my favorite characters are in it, and I’ve been really enjoying the interactions between characters–but I’m trying to think of what we can do to help. I think part of the problem is that this RP, when you think about it, was a really crazy idea. From my observations most RPs on here seem to just be a bunch of characters in a location, interacting and stuff, but in this one, we’re trying to do a whole big story. It may have been a mistake to just transition the “Character Party” into this idea, because I think that that resulted in a lot of people who couldn’t keep up with the fast pace dropping out. Even still, there are some people who RP on here a ton, and some who don’t RP very often, and, though it’s not either group’s fault, I think that that has had some negative effects on how it worked out.
So, I’m kind of wondering if those of us who are interested should start a new RP for the story idea. We could use the same basic ideas, and use the same characters we were using here, but with a plan of how to do this ahead of time. If any of you who aren’t active on here as much would be disappointed if we killed this RP and started again, then we don’t have to do this. I’ll admit there are a few big downsides to this idea. It would hurt to lose all the progress we have so far, and if we ended up going through things again, the new one might get boring and just end up dying.
Okay, I’m not sure if I’ve expressed what I was trying to say well, but I’ve been working on this post for a while, so I’m just going to hit submit. I’m not sure if I’ve said everything I intended to, but whatever. Like I said at the beginning, if you don’t like this, just say so. Shoot it down with extreme prejudice if you want to XD I won’t be offended! We can discuss this more if anyone has anything they’d like to add to this idea. Hopefully this isn’t super rambly and incoherent–I feel really tired.

For real!! One time my little sister and I were leading our horses in the pasture and then a snake appeared, spooking the horse my sis was leading. The horse knocked my sister down and jumped right over her. He was so close to stepping on her head!!! I was so scared…and i was too far away to do anything…so it was a miracle that she was fine!
I agree, it has kinda been slow. I honestly don’t care what we do XD either way I’m fine! Sorry that doesn’t help the polls much lol! Oooh, we could do a….i don’t know. I am bad at coming up with RP ideas. haha

LEFSE FOREVER!!!!!! <333December 9, 2023 at 8:07 pm #168908I, for one, am opposed to said idea. I think starting afresh would kill both rps.

December 9, 2023 at 8:08 pm #168909Lets see… I do think that the huge story was a little bit much with the large number of dragons you picked (Though the idea was totally amazing!) That was a lot to keep track of for a person like me who isn’t on here to much. I think if you guys who are on here more often want to keep doing it, you should totally go for that on here since its already like 325 pages, though I dont think I will RP with Hugo much. It is fun to read it all when I can though! I hope that made sense, I’m also tired (Been playing waaaay to many video games today, my eyes feel so tired XD )
